Invariant U2 snRNA nucleotides form a stem loop to recognize the intron early in splicing

U2 snRNA-intron branchpoint pairing is a critical step in pre-mRNA recognition by the splicing apparatus, but the mechanism by which these two RNAs engage each other is unknown. Here we identify a new U2 snRNA structure, the branchpoint interaction stem-loop (BSL), that presents the U2 nucleotides t...
